Hi all, at the beginning of april I reported problems with recording from an analog source with the Xonar DX2. I got the advice to use the line input and later on aplifying the signal by digital means. I tried so and it seemed to be ok. Now I have some more time and tried to do a complete recordi

Hi Clemens, increasing the volume at the source is not possible, neither the turntable nor the amplifier/equalizer have any knob to turn. What do you mean with "the D2X has lots of headroom"? Werner Am Samstag, den 06.04.2013, 16:55 +0200 schrieb Clemens Ladisch: > Werner Arnhold wrote: > > Whe

Hi Chris, yes, thank you, my original problem can be considered as solved. I use a special box which does the equalisation. I used it in former times with former soundcards and it worked very fine. But with that former soundcards I could use a slider in the mixer to get more or less input "gain?"
